Here’s a buttery twist to an all-time classic recipe. The addition of brown sugar and butterscotch pudding not only adds a wonderful depth of flavor, but a special softness to the texture as well. Santa will love a taste test after his descent from your chimney top–remember the milk! The dunk is fantastic!

Dolores says, “Whenever I make these amazing cookies, the spicy aroma brings me back to childhood when I helped Mom bake and deliver them to family, neighbors and friends.”

In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs. Combine flour, pudding mixes, spices, baking powder and vanilla; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
